Books We LOVED!
For this Halloween and Harvest Season, the kids really enjoyed our different selection of books from the Hercules Library. Each day during circle time, I would pick a name from our name box, and that child got to choose a book for story time! Everyone gets a turn! Here are some of the books that we loved this month:

Wellness Wednesday!
Warning! Watch Out for Baby Carrots!
What you may not know and should know is the following:
Once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used in your pool).
Since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.
You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots. This is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables?
Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer. I thought this was worth passing on. Pass it on to as many people as possible in hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed.
